1 Chapter Two :: A New Visitor
Sakura sat silently in the car, staring out the window. She glanced at Li, but he seemed busy scowling at the back of Wei's seat.
Sakura sighed, thinking how she would have to be stuck with this cold- hearted boy for the rest of the week.
They arrived at Li's apartment, which he shared with Wei, and Sakura quietly followed Wei and Syaoran up the stairs.
She gasped when she went in. "Hoooooee! It looks so cozy and cuuuuute!!" Syaoran and Wei sweatdropped.
"Miss Sakura," Wei began, "You will sleep in Syaoran's room, and I have set up a small sleeping bag on the floor…I hope you will not mind."
Sakura shook her head, "No, it's fine with me." Li grunted, which she took for a yes.
Syaoran started off into his room and Sakura followed him, and marveled at how neat and tidy his room was.
Syaoran glared at her, "You better not touch anything in here…you're only sleeping here for three days, and it will be over with!"
Sakura looked down at her feet, biting her lip. She quietly dropped her bag next to the sleeping bag and walked out of the room.
She asked Wei if it was okay to go outside for a walk while he cooked dinner. He said of course, and she headed outside.
There was a swing set outside and as she sat down, she sighed.
Syaoran was so…mean and cold towards her…but I will never give up being nice to him, she thought. I wonder why Meling likes him so much…she wondered as she pushed herself higher and higher up the swing, her honey brown hair streaming behind her and her skirts ruffling in the wind.
Unknown to her, a person was watching her in from a window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura! Dinner is ready!" Wei called from inside. "Hai!" Sakura ran inside, smelling sweet rice and other delicious flavors that only the Li family could make.
Sakura chatted animatedly while Wei looked at her with a kind smile and Syaoran responded with a stony silence.
"Soo…Mr. Wei, how do you like it here in Japan??" Sakura asked. Wei smiled softly, "It is nice here. I think it is good for Li to get away from his sisters once in a while."
Sakura glanced at Li, "How many sisters does he have?" Wei answered her question, "He has four sisters, but Miss Meiling is almost like a sister to him."
"Wow. Four sisters. And I was here thinking having just ONE brother was hard…" Sakura giggled.
Syaoran glanced at her, How can she always be so happy…even after the way I treated her…
They finished eating and Wei told Sakura to go take a bath before bed, since Li had already washed when she was outside. "Hai…"
She walked towards Syaoran's room, taking out her green pajamas with bunnies all over them, and some other belongings.
She went into the bathroom and glanced around. It was clean and tidy, just like the rest of the house, and in shades of green. Li must really like green…she mused to herself as she undressed and sat down in the hot steaming water. She added a bit of bubble bath solution into it and giggled as she splashed in the water.
In the next room, Li sat down on his bed, and shook his head as sounds of Sakura splashing in water echoed in the next room and giggling. She was always so cheerful…so sweet… Wait! Where had THAT come from…?
Sakura got up, and dressed in her pajamas and her slippers. She combed out her hair, without the pigtails, and walked into Syaoran's room.
She saw his eyes widen in surprise and a touch of red appear on his cheeks, but it vanished as soon as it had come.
She snuggled into her bed as Syaoran turned out the lights and said, "Good night Li-sama."
She had already fallen asleep, so she didn't hear the quiet, "Good night…Kinomoto…" in the darkness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, Sunday, Li awoke, and turned over to see Sakura sleeping peacefully, her honey brown hair accenting her sweet face, smiling in her sleep.
He dressed quietly and tiptoed outside with his sword, ready for his usual morning martial arts practice.
Sakura shot up when something cold and wet splashed onto her face. Kero jumped onto her moaning, "Gahhhh! Saaakkuuurraaa!!! You forgot all about me and left me in your side pocket of your bag!! I'm starving!! You left me there all night, and I just managed to get out right now!!!"
Sakura sweatdropped, "I'm sorry Kero. I sort of forgot about you…"
Kero tried to snicker while hungry but couldn't. "Still thinking about that Chinese gaki, ne?? Well think about my stomach now. I'm HUNGRY!"
Sakura winced as he yelled into her ear. "Okay okay…I'll bring you to breakfast, Li and Wei know all about the Clow Cards so they won't be surprised by you." She paused, thinking about what Kero had said.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY??!" Li and Wei, from downstairs, could here a bang and a crash. Li winced and hoped that they didn't break anything.
Kero grinned, "Ehhh…nothing. What are we having for breakfast??"
Sakura sweatdropped again, "I don't KNOW!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kero was decidedly stuffing pancakes into his mouth as Wei and Li watched him eat warily. Sakura, who was used to the little animal's eating habits, said cheerfully, "Don't mind about him, he's always like that."
Li mumbled, "Good thing that stuffed animal doesn't live with us. He'll eat everything by tomorrow!"
Kero's ears twitched as he flew next to Li. "WHAT did you just say to me?!" He changed into his true form and stomped on Li.
"Ahhhhh!!! Get off of meee!!!"
Sakura and Wei sweatdropped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li was sitting on the couch, reading a book, when Sakura plopped on the couch next to him. "So…Li, what's the schedule for today??" Li didn't look up from his book, and he just snapped, "Leave me alone. You can go do whatever you want, but don't distract me!"
"But we have to be with each other 24/7!" Sakura wailed. Li looked up and sighed as he stood up. "Fine. Let's go to Daidouji's house." Sakura jumped up and said, "Yayyy! We get to see Eriol to, ne??" She had never expected he would actually go with her. She hugged him on impulse and Li blushed red, while he gruffly pushed her off. "Let's go." As they left, Wei was watching them with a smile.
Kero, of course, was still stuffing himself, and yelled after Sakura, "Get me some sweets from Tomoyo, okay?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Tomoyo! Eriol!" Sakura giggled as she greeted her two friends. Li, meanwhile, stayed leaning against the wall, grimacing at Eriol. Eriol smiled warmly and her, as Tomoyo greeted her happily. "Sakura! I made a new dress for you!"
Sakura looked puzzled, "What for? I already have my card capturing costume that you gave me last time…"
Tomoyo shook her head, "Didn't you hear?? There is going to be a masked ball at the school festival. I assume you are going with Syaoran, ne? Because it's on Saturday, and that's the last day of the project."
Syaoran jumped up at this, "W---What??!"
Tomoyo grinned slyly at him, "Don't worry Syaoran, I made a stunning suit for you too!"
"That's not what I meant!"
Tomoyo just giggled and Eriol looked at Syaoran with a mere smile.
Sakura looked up at the clock in shock, and said, "Oh no! I have to go and meet by brother now…I promised him I would!"
Syaoran looked up in surprise. "What??! You never mentioned that you had to meet up with your brother today!"
Sakura apologized, "Gomen Li-sama, I forgot. You will come with me, right?" Li grumbled, "And what else would I do…"
Eriol took Sakura's hand and kissed it gently. "I hope you will have a good day Sakura-chan." Sakura's face turned bright red, and she stammered, "Uh…H—hoee…G—good day to you t..too, Eriol-sama!"
Li glared at Eriol, and started dragging Sakura out the door saying, "We are going to be late!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Touya growled impatiently at the ice-cream parlor where he said he would meet Sakura. Yukito was with him and was stuffing himself with ice-cream. "Where is that little kaijuu??! With that gaki?!"
Sakura roller-bladed in, dragging behind her a harassed-looking Li Syaoran. Touya glared daggers at Li. "YOU! Chinese gaki, what are you doing here?!" Syaoran rolled his eyes, "I'm supposed to be here remember? I have to be with Kinomoto at all times……"
Touya's eyes bulged out even more, "Arghhhh! I have half a mind to go and talk to that teacher of yours about this stupid assignment!"
Syaoran shrugged, "Go right ahead, it's fine with me."
Sakura yelled, "STOP arguing you two! Now Touya why did you call me here?"
Touya turned towards her, as a brown-haired boy came out of the ice-cream store. Touya started, "This is my friend, Lazio's cousin. He was in town, and I promised that he would be in good hands. So, could he stick around you guys for the next couple of days??"
Syaoran started to yell, "But we're doing a project together!" Touya smirked, "So what's it to you?" Syaoran's cheeks tinged red, but he became silent. "This is Hinato Toroshi. See you later kaijuu." Touya left with Yukito, leaving Hinato.
Hinato began, "Saaaaakuuuuraaa-chan!!! You are so cute!!! Ahhhh!!!! Touya told me so much about you!!! You are the mooost beautiful person I've ever met!" Sakura sweatdropped, but smiled sincerely at him, "Why---thank you Hinato."
Li became a VERY VERY angry shade of purple and glared at Hinato. "Hmph." He stomped off into the ice-cream parlor. Sakura turned and followed him. "Wait Li-sama!" Hinato trailed after Sakura while singing, "MY beaaautiful Saaakkura-chan, waaait for meeeeeeee!" (AN: Hinato sounds annoying, but really he is just a big flatterer and has a BIG crush on Sakura…hohoho…)
~*------- To Be Continued… -------*~
I wanted to keep writing, but then realized that it didn't fit in with the rest of this chapter, so you'll have to find out what happens next…in the next chapter of course! Hinato is such a big flirt…hehe, they are going to have ANOTHER visitor. Hohohoho…guess who it is?? Anyways, Li is going be all "jealous" in the next few chapters, so prepare for lots of entertainment! ^_^ Thanks to all the wonderful people who reviewed, so this chapter is dedicated to them! ^_^
